Update the Oracle FS System Software

After staging the software package on the Pilot, update the system software.

Note: Use the primary administrator account to perform the update operation. The default password is pillar.
  1. Navigate to Support > Software and Firmware.
    The summary page displays the software and firmware packages currently installed on the Drive Enclosures, Drives, Pilots, and Controllers, as well as any staged software and firmware packages.
  2. Select Actions > Update Software.
  3. Select Restart and update software (disrupts data access).
  4. Select the options in the Software Update Options pane.
    Valid options:
    Shutdown Controller
    Select this option.
    Ignore Current Requests
    Select this option.
    Ignore compatibility
    Select this option only if the Patch Readme or Release Notes instructs you to do so.
    Ignore hardware status
    Select this option if there is a minor condition, such as a single failed hard drive. For a more serious error, attempt to resolve the condition. If you are unable to resolve the condition, contact Oracle Customer Support.
    Ignore system alerts
    Select this option if there are system alerts for failed email, failed call-home, or a failure to connect to an NTP server.
    Ignore Compatibility
    Override failed software update
    Select these two options if the software update fails but the system returns to a Normal status with only a compatibility error. If a second attempt to upgrade the software fails, contact Oracle Customer Support.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Yes.
    When prompted to confirm the software override options, continue to click Yes until the upgrade starts.
  7. After the upgrade completes, check that the software versions are correct and that the system status is Normal.
